If you can serve, you can play squash. If you cannot return serve, then yes it is going to be pretty tough to win when playing squash.
The boast is somewhat like a drive. To boast about your drive does not involve a motor vehicle.
You can play a boast with slice.
You can play a boast by changing your feet position, that’s called a drive to the side wall.
You can play a boast by adjusting your hips or swing technique.
If they play a weak boast from the right rear court, are you really going to play a cross court back to the right rear court?
If you are so late on the ball you are afraid to hit straight, go high instead. Hunt the volley.
Play the ball towards where you know they are not.
Your opponent is probably somewhere on a straight line between where they last connected with the ball and the T.
If you’ve never done twenty straight line court sprints in a single rally, why are you training that way? Have you heard of specificity?
If the lob is volleyed in the mid court it wasn’t actually a lob.
If one doesn’t practice hitting nick rollers, what’s the chances you’ll hit one in a match? Without records, you cannot accurately answer that last question!
What is your favourite shot? For greatest gains, train your worst shot. For greatest gains, work on your weakest components.
Power to weight ratio is not just for cyclists and motor vehicles.
If someone is arguing that good squash technique is a just vertical swing OR a horizontal swing, tell them to start videoing the champions and reexamine reality.
When you play a drop shot that is above the service line, that’s called a “drob”.
Do not barrage through the opponents arm during their follow through just because you’re out of position, teeth get lost that way.
Hunt the volley. If you can’t volley, hunt to half volley. If you can’t volley, or half volley, get it before the back wall. If you can’t volley, or half volley, or get it before the back wall, ok, then take it after the back wall.
The longer you wait after the ball hits the back wall the more room you’ll have to swing.
Hunt the volley in the mid court.
Yes you can go long from the hunted volley in the mid court.
Sure thing, you can go short from the hunted volley in the mid court.
An effective tickle boast produces no laughter.
A corkscrew involves no wine.
Recognise that the nick sometimes feels a mile wide.

When one is old skool and was brought up in the transitory period of australia moving from the imperial system to the metric system, we people born in the 1970’s had to learn both systems and was told we would thus be even smarter for knowing both measurement systems.
1.6 kilometres = 1 mile.
1 inch = 2.54 cm.
3 feet is a bit less than 1 metre, 1 pound made three aussie dollars fiscally, or 1 kilogram made 2.2 pounds weight wise.
When the british and the australian collaborated in the 7 nuclear tests, i.e. radioactive explosions in various locations around our Great One Nation, they did some damage to an area, or rather a volume of Outback Country.
Yadda yadda yar, eventually they got around to cleaning up the messes that killed many of my fellow human cousins, and the magnificent outback plants and creatures existing there.
At that linky above u will discover that AFTER cleaning up the maralinga area the following…
“The Project surpassed the standards set at its inception. Most of the former Maralinga test site (approximately 3,200 square kilometres) is now safe for unrestricted access. As a precautionary measure, approximately 120 square kilometres, enclosed within an area of 412 square kilometres delineated by marker posts, is considered safe for access but not for permanent occupancy.”
So get ur smart phone out and note that 120 square kilometres is NOT safe for permanent occupancy, then apply that to our Adelaide concept of the square mile of Adelaide, and do your conversion.
We end up with 46.3323 Adelaides are not considered safe for permanent occupancy AFTER the clean up surpassed the standards set at the beginning of the 4 year clean up project.
I shall rephrase for clarity. 46 areas the size of Adelaide was utterly fucking made unlivable and radioactive desolation, but you can still hang around that area for a short time fairly safely if you high tail it out quickly before the radioactivity shortens ones lifespan.
Just think, feel and consider,>>> how would you feel if 46 square miles around greater adelaide was actually genuinely poisonous to permanently live upon?
And apparently that’s good enough to surpass expectations of the Australian Government, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.
I wonder, do those fine institutions exist in the square mile? or nearby?
I put it to the australian humans, birds, beasts and insects, do you want radioactive soil in your residence?
Go check out Osborn with a geiger counter, or your local hospital. Do some physics and mathematics, some engineering. Do we want nuclear submarines in south australia?
China and America sitting in a tree, k i double s, i n g. First comes naval exchange, then comes planes, then comes the nukes and the little ones run away. It’s a first draft, but hey, time is ticking, I got stuff to do at two, perhaps a poo in the loo.
